Well I am not entirely sure where to begin to be honest. My darling husband Clint has been recently diagnosed with Non Hodgkins Lymphoma for the second time only this time it is in his Spleen, Pancreas and Stomach.
We had the horrific journey today of going to the hospital and finding out what the prognosis and actually what was going to happen with regards to his treatment. He has been told that he requires between 6 to 8 session os R-CHOP chemotherapy, i felt sick when they said that but his face...

Well tomorrow is the day I have been dreading since Tom was first diagnosed 20 mths ago,his funeral.I don't know how I am going to cope I miss him so much since he died nearly 2 weeks ago and I feel asif I am living in limbo.I feel so empty and alone and miss so much looking after him which sounds so selfish as I wouldn't wish him back for anything in the world as he suffered so badly in the last few weeks.I went to see him for the final time yesterday and it was awful to see as it wasn;t my gorgeous...

Hi everyone
I havent been on here in a while and to be honest i dont really know why, i think ive just been burying my head in the sand and trying my best to get on with life. Things have been very difficult and its taken me a while to get used to living my life without my pop and to be honest i havent been coping like i should have been and the whole grieving process has been harder than what i thought but im getting through it and after all its only been 10 weeks tommorow.
My care is now focused...

Mum took a turn for the worse over the weekend, she can't even drink unassisted. Yesterday she was very agitated and broken blood spots started appearing all over her body. Blood test were taken and it was found her blood count is dangerously low because the cancer has attacked her bones the bone marrow is not making blood any more.
